Channel Tunnel: England
built 629 days ago
The Channel Tunnel is an excellent method of crossing the English Channel without all that tedious mucking about on ferries, and runs beneath the sea between Folkestone, England and Calais, France. Since its opening in 1995, the Chunnel, as it is occasionally called, has become the preferred, if not the cheapest, mode of travel between the UK and the continent.

It took just three years for tunnel boring machines from France and England to chew through the chalky earth and meet hundreds of feet below the surface of the English Channel. Today, trains roar through the tunnel at speeds up to 100 miles per hour and it's possible to get from one end to the other in only 20 minutes!

The frontier marks the division between the UK and France within the Tunnel. The land on the English side of the frontier is incorporated into England and forms part of the District of Dover in the County of Kent. The law of England applies in the normal way (the Act Section 10(1)). The frontier is marked with a line at the midpoint in the tunnel.
